PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

By: TY JAGLOWSKI, CHAPTER PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT, ENVIRONMENTAL CONCEPTS LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, INC.

Summertime in our GRIE chapter had a blend of staple events, first time education and social opportunities as well as a call back to the Day at the Races. Our chapter had an amazing showing or participation at our “hot” new event at Ontario Top Golf. We had a great presentation discussing drones and the impact of the uses in HOA’s. Thank you to all who attended and helped make that a successful first-time event.

We also went south where the surf meets the turf at Del Mar and enjoyed a trackside cabana at the Day at the Races. For a typical warm summer day in our beautiful GRIE, this was a nice treat to enjoy the cooler ocean breeze temperatures. Thank you to all who made this event possible and helped it to run smoothly.

We have also seen a growth in our chapter as we have over 675 active members in our chapter, as we continue to our goal of 700+.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been a part of the chapter, whether in person at events or behind the scenes planning and discussing during committee meetings, this chapter has really felt like a FAMILY this year in many ways and has created great memories so far.

I am looking forward to the next few months as we have quite a few educational and fun opportunities leading our way into fall and winter.

• Tuesday, November 7th and 14th Thanksgiving Cooking Classes
